looks like it should be fairly effective. Are you overclocking? what cpu? what cooler do you currently have and what temps are you getting?

[RollinLower]

i would still go for the hyper 212. just because it has a well established reputation.

i believe it's about as expensive too. 

 

yeah just checked, they go for 25 bucks on ebay.

CPU will be Xeon E3-1231 V3

Its actually better than the 212 evo anyways, so you'd be better off. 

[theereal]

Isn't the 212 Evo around the same price? I would go for that one, safer...

well looking about on google, tech powerup gave it a good review, even against the 212. I think you will probably be ok

Ok, cool that's saved me $20 off the total price.

[Mattyd7829]

I am far from the most knowledgeable person in the world lol, so do some googling for yourself to double check my findings.

[Zayzo]

Here you go a review. And it beats the 212 evo by a decent amount in every single stress test.

Don't like the SSD. Do you actually need a dvd writer? lol

[Praesi]

Just throw a second fan on it and you will be fine.

Don't know your taste in case so i just plopped this in. This is a good PSU and 620W is MORE than enough unless you're planning on doing sli anytime soon.

Oh, how much is the Evo then?

[Thony]

Looks 99% like Hyper evo 212.

I would still go with Evo for their excellent reputation.

CPU only supports up to 1600mhz memory.

Eww case.

MSI motherboards look better

Other than that, I think I might go with this, except with an MSI mobo, and modular power supply, different case. I'll go with a 620w though.
